Chapter 449 Testing the truth

Behind the Star Luo Empire army.

Dai Qingxiao looked at the vast army rushing towards Zhennang Pass, with a fierce look in his eyes, "Whether there are reinforcements from the Tiandou Empire in Zhennang Pass, we will know in this battle!"

Although it is speculated that the reason why Lu Yuan did not fall into the trap and lead his troops to pursue him that day was because there were insufficient troops in Zhennan Pass.

Wang Qianren and Ren En also noticed that something was wrong that day, but they did not investigate it carefully and were not sure whether Lu Yuan had really deceived them before.

Therefore, Dai Qingxiao was very aggressive this time. If there were really defenders arriving in Zhennang Pass, even if there was not an army of 500,000, relying on the dangerous fortress of Zhennang Pass, he would still be able to withstand the entire Xingluo Empire this time. A general offensive based on military pressure is not that difficult.

The purpose of this general attack, involving a total of 700,000 elite troops, was to test the true number of troops in Zhennan Pass.

"If this Zhennan Pass is as we expected and there are not enough defenders at all, even if we can defend it, we will have to pay a huge price!" Wang Qianren said.

"When we capture Zhennanguan, we must also capture Lu Yuan!" Dai Qingxiao said solemnly, "Even if we have to sacrifice one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand troops, we must keep him and cannot let him go. He escaped!"

The strength and role Lu Yuan displayed in these two battles were enough for Dai Qingxiao to attach great importance to him, and he was even seriously injured 1,000% of the time.

But Dai Qingxiao still had illusions after all. If Lu Yuan could be used for him, it would give a big boost to the Star Luo Empire's plan to unify the continent in the future.

Although Lu Yuan had previously acted like he would rather die than surrender, what if Lu Yuan would change his tune under the threat of death after being captured by them?

After all, he is still so young, and life is still very precious to him. Only with life can he have a bright future.

The Star Luo Empire also happens to lack a soul master with such a powerful talent like Lu Yuan. The Star Luo Empire has a strong military strength, but it has never been able to fully implement its plan to unify the continent because it has never had a strong man above the title Douluo.

That's why Dai Qingxiao always had the illusion that he could recruit Lu Yuan to surrender.

And although they didn't have anyone strong enough to defeat Lu Yuan, they had a powerful army.

In the world of Douluo Continent, even those who are as powerful as Titled Douluo will still be checked and balanced by the army.

After all, the soul power of a Titled Douluo is also limited. When an army of one hundred thousand people surges up, even a Titled Douluo cannot kill an army of one hundred thousand people in an instant.

And when a titled Douluo's soul power is exhausted, he will not be able to escape death.

In Dai Qingxiao's mind, even Lu Yuan, who had exhausted his soul power, could not withstand the force of the army.

When the time comes, Lu Yuan will be a lamb at his disposal.

At that time, if Lu Yuan would rather die than surrender to the Star Luo Empire, Dai Qingxiao could easily kill him!

But what he didn't know was that Lu Yuan had the special "blood-sucking" effect of the Death Star's incarnation form, as well as the ability to plunder arcane energy and restore soul power simultaneously.

To put it simply, Lu Yuan has both blue and blood regeneration. As long as he can't be lost within seconds, he can stay like this.

But although Lu Yuan can absorb blood and return to blue, but...

The defenders at Zhennan Pass don't know how to do it. This is a big problem.

Dai Qingxiao doesn't know this. He just wants to capture Lu Yuan even if it costs a huge price!

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Wang Qianren and others responded immediately.

…

On the city wall, the moment the Star Luo Empire army rushed up, everyone felt something was wrong.

This time, the Star Luo Empire's army came even more fiercely and powerfully, four to five times more powerful than the previous two sieges.

After all, before this, the first attack on Zhennang Pass was the first attempt of the Star Luo Empire. It did not use all its strength to attack, and there were not even a few elite troops.

The second time the Xingluo Empire attacked Zhennanguan, it was also a battle planned by Dai Qingxiao in order to fake the failure of the attack and lure Lu Yuan out to lay siege.

The main thing was to feign failure, and planned most of the elite troops to ambush Lu Yuan outside Zhennan Pass, so there were not many troops to attack the city wall.

But this time it was different. This time, in order to test the number of Zhennanguan garrison, Dai Qingxiao took action and sent all the elite troops up.

In an instant, the Star Luo Empire broke through the long-range attacks and obstacles of the Zhennanguan garrison. In a very short period of time, tens of thousands of troops rushed to the Zhennanguan Pass and started close combat with the Zhennanguan garrison.

This is even surprisingly fast.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan, Ning Rongrong and Sen Luohou made a decisive decision and joined the battlefield.

"Possessed by the martial spirit!" Senluohou directly summoned the martial spirit.

Eight soul rings circled at his feet, showing his identity as a Contra.

Then I saw Lord Senluo duck out of the way, and in an instant, the dozens of Star Luo Empire soldiers who had rushed up exploded and died!

But soon, several generals from the Star Luo Empire who were roughly the cultivation level of the Soul Emperor rushed towards him with hundreds of troops.

"I stand at the head of the tide! Behind me is the vast sea of ​​silence!"/"Nine treasures turn out to be colored glaze!"

At this time, Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong also shouted at the same time.

Along with the murderous words, the three colors of blue, purple and gold gathered in Lu Yuan's hand and turned into a huge scythe like the god of death.

The gem-like nine-color light gathered in Ning Rongrong's hands and condensed into a nine-story glazed pagoda, making Ning Rongrong's body covered with a layer of precious light at this moment!

At the same time, Lu Yuan circulated the power of arcane energy and shadow, and the thin armor of blue and gold was attached to every part of his body, even his face was covered by the armor, "Shadow Secret! Shadow Armor!"

"Love! Hope! Fear! I will feast on them all!"

The blood-red light shone on the entire Zhennan Pass. Lu Yuan was instantly covered by the blood-red light from the Death Star Scythe. The Death Star Scythe in his hand and the black braid behind him that was exposed outside the shadow armor were quietly untied. , all turned into the color of blood!

In the Death Star incarnation form, Lu Yuan in this state has a "blood-sucking" bonus based on a percentage of his soul power level, and using the giant scythe to sweep can increase the lethality by an additional percentage of his soul power, and at the same time, the sharp blade can cause a range of forced knockback. Effect!

The so-called "blood-sucking" is to continuously absorb other people's physical energy and even... vitality, and turn it into one's own physical energy and vitality.

"I am with you!" Lu Yuan shouted, and the morale of all Zhennan Pass defenders on the battlefield rose.

After all, Lu Yuan has led them to two major victories. Because of this, it seems that as long as Lu Yuan, the Tianying General, is here, they are invincible!

This is the benefit of high morale. Even though the current situation is not optimistic, they still have an optimistic attitude.

At this moment, Lu Yuan didn't need to say anything. Ning Rongrong on the side had already activated his soul power and activated his fifth soul skill!

"Nine Treasures are famous! Five says: Attack!"

The light of attack attribute increase fell on Lu Yuan, increasing Lu Yuan's attack attributes by 70%!

The tacit understanding between the two has become more and more perfect. Ning Rongrong knew what Lu Yuan was going to do now without Lu Yuan having to say anything.

"Second Soul Skill! Death Shadow Clone!" Lu Yuan instantly created a second shadow clone. This shadow clone was the same as Lu Yuan's original body, and first guarded Ning Rongrong.

He would let Lu Yuan kill without any worries, without worrying that Ning Rongrong would be targeted by the enemy.

Unless the enemy is far stronger than them.

At the same time, he stepped on his feet and leaped high in the air!

Then Lu Yuan's body rotated in mid-air, like a bloody top, using his body to drive the Death Star Scythe in his hand.

"The spinning scythe sweeps across!"

The bloody Death Star Scythe quickly spun out of the hand and flew towards the siege vehicles and siege ladders at the front of the Star Luo Empire army!

Sawdust and torn flesh were flying, but...

"Bah——" Lu Yuan frowned. Star Luo Empire's armies appeared directly in other places. There were too many. Not only was it a matter of siege equipment, there were also many Star Luo Empire soul masters who didn't need help at all. Siege engines can scale the city walls.

And right in front of him, he saw hundreds of flying soul masters who were at least soul sects and above, fluttering their wings and flying directly into the sky of Zhennanguan!

This is the Raven Army, the elite army of the Star Luo Empire!

Its core members are all soul masters who are born with martial souls with the ability to fly, and can freely climb high walls to strike!

Their countless long-range soul skills were released wantonly in the sky, rushing towards the defenders above Zhennan Pass!

At this time, the defenders at Zhennan Pass were also miserable. Senluo Hou immediately saw this and snorted coldly, "Senluo clan, target those birdmen in the sky! Take action!"

"Yes!" Senluohou's direct clan members immediately changed their targets.

"The fifth soul skill! Grasp of Nature!"

"The number one soul skill! Wild vines spread!"

"The number one soul skill! Wild vines spread!"

…

All the soul skills immediately spurred huge vines on the Zhennang Pass, shooting straight at the Star Luo Empire Raven Army in the sky like spears!

The martial souls of Marquis Senluo's direct clan members are all the ancestral martial souls of the family, Senluo Demon Demon, and they are also all control-type soul masters.

Generally, the spirit masters who fly martial arts are agility attack type war spirit masters. As we all know, on Douluo Continent, the control type war spirit masters restrain the agility attack type war spirit masters.

So in an instant, the direct clan members of Marquis Senluo defeated the Raven Army in the sky. Many Raven Army soul masters were shot down from the sky and turned into a puddle of flesh.

But at this moment...

"Kill——!" Suddenly a powerful army on the city wall killed the direct clan members of Marquis Senluo. Their bulging muscles and blanket-like fur made them look like tigers.

"Damn it! It's the Tiger Roaring Army!" Marquis Senluo looked extremely ugly.

The elite troops of the Star Luo Empire, the Tiger Roaring Army, are all owners of tiger martial arts. Although they are not all soul masters, they are naturally strong and brave because of the power of tiger martial spirits.

The core generals among them are also tiger spirit soul masters. However, although they are tiger spirit spirit masters, they have nothing to do with the Xingluo royal family.

As Dai Qingxiao said in the Star Luo Empire royal family, there will be no other royal children to take charge of the empire. Once they fail to compete for the throne, even if they survive, they will have to be abolished and exiled to remote areas of the empire, where they will live their whole lives.

Therefore, the Tiger Roaring Army is not a disciple of the royal family, it just has a tiger-type martial spirit.

As an elite army that can be compared with the Royal Knights of the two empires, the Tiger Roar Army is naturally very powerful. Soon after, there were casualties among Senluohou's tribe!

In fact, casualties are appearing all the time not only among Senluo Hou's tribe and Senluo Army, but also on Zhennanguan Pass.

Even though Lu Yuan was fighting bravely at the moment, after he killed dozens of people with the unrivaled sharpness of the Death Star Scythe, hundreds more troops rushed forward.

As if there was no end, Lu Yuan killed very quickly with the assistance of Ning Rongrong, but this could not stop the Star Luo Empire from causing casualties to the Zhennanguan garrison.

The main reason is that above Zhennanguan, friendly forces and enemy forces are fighting together, and he cannot directly kill them on a large scale!

If we stop and make statistics now, Lu Yuan and others will find that in less than half an hour of this battle, the casualties of the Zhennanguan garrison have reached more than 10,000 people!

Although the Star Luo Empire had a lot of casualties at the moment, with more than 20,000 casualties, the key was that the Star Luo Empire had a large army, and the number of Zhennanguan defenders was far less than that of the Star Luo Empire.

And this time, the level of casualties in Zhennanguan in half an hour was greater than the previous two times combined!

…

And behind the Star Luo Empire army.

"...The enemies on the front line are almost completely outnumbered. Our nearly 200,000 troops have rushed to the city wall and are fighting with them!" The messenger knelt in front of Dai Qingxiao and reported.

"How is the situation of the army?" Dai Qingxiao asked with surprise on his face.

"The situation is very good, we have a slight advantage!" the messenger said.

"Okay, okay!" Dai Qingxiao laughed loudly, "Sure enough, Lu Yuan is trying to deceive us. Even my 200,000-strong army can't resist it. Considering the terrain conditions of Zhennanguan and the need for a large army to resist in the city, In the case of the city gate, Lu Yuan only has at most 300,000 troops in his hands!"

Wang Qianren smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, I think Lu Yuan only has an army of 200,000 at most."

"Oh?" Dai Qingxiao was a little confused, "Why is this?"

"Because Lu Yuan is better than a hundred thousand troops. He can lead the Zhennanguan garrison to barely block our two hundred thousand troops from fighting on the city wall. Doesn't that mean there are only two hundred thousand troops?" Wang Qianren said.

"That's right!" Dai Qingxiao said with a smile, "But now that we know the truth and falsehood of the other party, let's not pretend anymore..."

"Yes." Wang Qianren said with a smile.

"Pass my order!" Dai Qingxiao immediately said to the messenger, "Let's attack Zhennanguan with all our strength. We must capture Zhennanguan and the enemy general Tianyinghou Lu Yuan within three days! (Dai Qingxiao didn't know Lu Yuan at this moment. Yuan was made a Duke)."

"Yes! Your Majesty!" the herald said immediately and respectfully, and then quickly headed to the front line.

Dai Qingxiao, Wang Qianren and Renn had no idea of ​​leaving. After all, they all knew that Lu Yuan was very powerful. It would be bad if they went to the front line and were seriously injured.

At this time, above Zhennanguan, the fighting became more and more intense. Countless blood spattered on the city wall of Zhennanguan, dyeing the city wall blood red.
